Sweet traditions

To celebrate the small and large events in life, Greenlanders invite guests to a social gathering in their homes called a kaffemik. It’s like an open house, where people come and go. Friends and family stop by for a while to celebrate over coffee, tea and cakes. The party is prepared days in advance and the table is set with their finest tableware and linens. Take part in this local tradition and taste the local delicacies. You’ll also get to admire Greenland’s beautiful national costume and see a demonstration of how it’s made.
